Sažetak
This article is an attempt at a phenomenological analysis of James Joyce's authorial principle, with the aim of pointing to his particular hermeneutic attitude towards reality and to the ontological status granted to the verbal creation within that reality.
Joyce's early concepts of "silence, exile and cunning" have significantly defined his understanding of his own authorial function as a form of autonomous literary mediation between different spheres and layers of existence: the exterior and the interior, the physical and the spiritual, history and myth, the expressed and the imagined. In this respect, his art of epiphanies is conceived as a skill of reading, interpreting and transformation of the "book of nature" into the "book of words", in which a freely created verbal reality pushes the borders of both the textual and extra-textual world, expanding the area of the expressible in human experience.
Underlining Joyce's self-consciousness and his independence regarding ideological, social, cultural and literary trends, as well as his personal relation towards language, this text points to the way he redefined realism in literature which has been the subject, followed by disputes and occasional agreements, of both older and recent criticism – the fact which, inter alia, proves the supra-historical and trans-discursive quality of his work.
